What does your question have to do with classical music, Crighton?

Irrelevant, given that the erroneous presupposition of tallis has to
do with the claim that you've been quiet recently.
I should have read this before posting my question in reply to the other
digest. Anyway, she has been quiet recently, and Jerry has been almost
silent.

What does your wondering have to do with classical music, Crighton?
13> More than long enough. I wish he would go away.
He's a troll; he said so himself.
You finally got it!! Congrats on the improved reading comprehension,
Tholen.
13> No, you didn't ever answer my question, Tholen.
You would already know the answer to your question if you had better
reading comprehension skills, Crighton.

Are you also curious about the favorite composer of other readers?
Do you have a problem with the fact that she's interested?
She's never asked who my favourite composer is :-(
13> I guess he's read my posts here.
That does not preclude study in other area.
13> Why are you questioning his

Irrelevant, given that I didn't say he is wrong, Crighton. I asked
him for the basis for his claim.

Do those constitute classical music?
Define classical music.

Try jazz.
You're at the right school for jazz, tweetie.
